Finance

  • The total of my future expenses each year is $71,564.  I know this is logical because my primary sources for information were my parents, Zillow, finance websites, Comcast, health websites, and entertainment websites.
  • According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, I can likely count on making $182,660 each year in my future job as a psychiatrist/psychologist.  My education/training to get that job will cost $251,535 total for all years of training.
  • I want to save $10,000 for my rainy day fund each year, and $15,000 for retirement each year.  If I save $15,000 for retirement each year, by the time I am 65 years old I will have $495,000 plus interest.
  • Comparing my future income and expenses makes me think that I will have leftover money to spend where there are emergencies or where I decide to splurge on something.

  2. That sure is a lot of money that you will be earning, I am impressed. How long do you have to stay in college? Does a degree in psychiatry cost more than other degrees with similar lengths of schooling?
